Gary, let me apologize for not understanding your statements, but I'll
stand by what I said to be wholly true.
I've been corrected, and it's a true statement. Read below"

It does not matter what type of signal is modulating the signal when
the linear amp is involved. Whether it is a sine wave or speech or
anything else. The PEP rule still applies for 100% modulation! You can
not exceed 100% positive peak modulation if the carrier is set at any
level greater than 1/4 the PEP output capability of the amplifier.
Unless you want to operate it in a non linear mode.

Gary's statement is true.
He is speaking of the PEP max output capability of the AMP. If the PEP
maxoutput of the amp is 1000 watts then regardless of the symmetry of
the audio, <>250 watts is the max carrier it should run on output. If
asymmetrical then you would need to reduce the carrier to maybe 100
watts output. At 250 watts carrier output the amp would reach
saturation before 100% modulation in any case.
Sorry, sir.
